  1. Wake up > check 384hr GFS > less then 0.10” precip for Minneapolis wash rinse repeat
  2. We’ve got a long way to go. It can snow here into May, and April 2018 saw over 25” of snow, but the trends this winter are undeniable. I’m more concerned if we don’t see any precip versus it falling as snow. Don’t want a 4th straight summer of drought and smoke.
  3. Warmest winter on record is gonna be locked up by mid month for mby. Might as well make it the least snowy as well and hit the futility daily double.
  4. Temps have way overachieved today in Minneapolis. It’s currently 48 breaking the old record of 47 from 1892.
  5. High of 33 today with freezing fog. Coolest day in the next 10.
  6. The spread in monthly precipitation across the subforum is impressive. Minneapolis is sitting at 0.13” month to date with nothing on the horizon.
  7. Wildfire season will be rocking with full run GFS precip maps like this for MN and points NW.
  8. The great upper midwest snow hole of winter 23/24 is very evident on the total seasonal snowfall map. Most of northern Minnesota is around the 5th to 10th percentile for current average snow depth.
  9. Yes you are correct. Off by a mere decade. February 1878 is the 6th warmest all time for Minneapolis. We need to aim for a top 5 warmest February to have a shot at the record.
  10. Chasing the ghost of winter 1887/1888 for warmest on record. Would be pretty cool if April and May end up our snowiest months this winter. Right now the 2.7” in October takes the top spot.
  11. Starting to feel more confident that a top 5 warmest and least snowy winter might be in the cards here.
  12. Thank you Iowa for the dense snowpack, letting us get in on the freezing fog too. Almost busted my ass walking in the parking lot this morning.
  13. Yeah nothing you can do but marvel at how drastically things can change YOY in our region. I’ve still had (scant) snowcover imby longer then most in this subforum, haven’t been above freezing since January 5th. It’s still winter here.
  14. Smokey skis are the new normal in the summer around here. It stinks (literally) but 20th century style fire suppression might be partially to blame.
  15. Extended looks very dry in Minnesota. Top 10 driest January is closing in on a lock. Typical of a nino around here.
  16. Great skiing weather. Winter isn’t going anywhere.
  17. Got a lot of time to make new accounts with frozen palms huh?
  18. Minneapolis has seen 0.19” of precipitation in January. Currently tied for 6th driest. There’s a chance we don’t see anything else this month. The monthly average temp of 16.5 through the 19th is only 0.5 degrees above average but surely the departure will rise by the 31st.
  19. -6 overnight, one more cold day to go. Pond Hockey Tournament is in full swing today. The neighborhood is already getting busy with spectators. There’s always a few former NHL players that partake.
  20. Lake Nokomis in South Minneapolis. @Brian Dis correct there are more then 10,000 lakes in Minnesota. Going off Wisconsin standards it’s over 15,000 I believe. Back down to -2F here with some blowing snow. Might drop a few more degrees before sunrise.
  21. Grew up in Chicagoland. Very familiar with its “frustrating for a snow weenie” climate. Glad the I-80 corridor is having a solid stretch. Edit: sorry for the thread hijack.
  22. No salty tears from me, backyard has been white all month and yeah last year was quite epic to say the least. I just like to bitch.
  23. Flurries here. Clipper is sliding south. Story of this winter for central Minnesota.
